it's common sense for middle america. when the republican party takes the ronald reagan world view, we have 60% of america supporting us. obama is the minority position in wanting stimulus over spending and having the government double your cost of energy and on taking over health care. he's off in left field and he's given us all the independents. look at the polling data. >> 70% of the american people want the public option and that includes 50% of republicans. >> that's an odd poll. if you go for the polls that have been run recently, support for his government takeover of heck has collapsed, his own personal support has collapsed. people going to town hall meetings and asking questions, which the democrats seem to think are un-american, are not getting answers that make them happy. >> grover, we're running out of time here. i apologize, we're running out of time here. final question to you, when you see some of the town halls including the one in pennsylvania and i'm particularly focused on the one in missouri with re
